Texas Department of Transportation Employee Reviews for Summer Engineer

"I served as an intern for TxDOT from June 2019 till August 2019. I was tasked with several routine responsibilities such as gathering data, documenting procedures, updating documents and databases, matching mentors and mentees, developing and delivering presentations, recording meeting notes, etc. along with more advanced and specialized responsibilities such as performing QCs on construction Plans, Specifications & Estimates (PS&E), studying processes and creating workflows to improve performance, creating contract time estimates using scheduling software (Primavera P6), automating the process of pairing mentors and mentees, develop existing tools, etc. The working environment was very conducive to learning as well as maximizing productivity. This helped me accomplish tasks well before deadlines. The PPM team not only trained and developed courses to aid project managers but also served as project managers for several key projects, this gave me several opportunities to attend status meetings, kick-off meetings, and review meetings. By attending these meetings, I gained familiarity with TxDOT’s process of letting and managing a project and developed an understanding of the functioning of TxDOT."
